NOTE: These summaries are not intended to be, and do not constitute, the giving of legal advice. Many states have unclear compulsory attendance statutes, and the courts of those states vary in their interpretation of the statutes. Therefore, there is no guarantee any state will accept all of the options for compliance listed under each state. These summaries are not intended to be a substitute for individual reliance on privately retained legal counsel such as that provided by Home School Legal Defense Association.
